Well, bankruptcy is about inability to pay debts, so the question is what kind of credit limit are we talking about here? Is it even possible to have a credit card with a (hypothetically speaking) $60 limit? And if so, why would a financial institution even bother?

I didn’t mean to suggest that she’s facing the possibility of having a shit credit rating for several years, just the the piling debts. My point was that the reality was a far cry from the “$5 each for a dozen people,” which is more like a secret Santa budget messing up one’s plans.

To persons who aren’t large businesses, all it takes to go bankrupt is to be functionally out of money – to have zero or nigh-zero spending money. After all, as Monopoly taught us, all you have to do to be bankrupt is to be broke. And if you’re an unemployed high-schooler/college student, it’s not to hard to constantly be so close to the wire that one little holiday has you choosing between ramen and gas money.

I don’t think it’s actually possible for her to mean that literally. There’s a “once per ten years” limit for filing for bankruptcy, depending on which kind [Chapter 7/11/13/etc.], and I highly doubt they would let a technically dependent* college student file.

*assuming Roz didn’t sever all ties and the DeSanto parents are in fact paying her tuition and shit, ’cause why would she go home and buy everyone presents if she had

Actually if you feed them at all they give birth. The only way to prevent a tribble from reproducing is to only give it water and a powerful enough light source. They can keep themselves alive for years that way.

It depends on several factors. Age (both relative and absolute), gender, temper, parental treatment (again, both relative and absolute), who’s been adopted (if any), and relative location. Believe me, I used to hate my middle sister, but after going to college, and the rest of the family moved to Italy, she became my favorite, probably because the we’re most alike (in both cases).

Seeing a Leslie strip in Shortpacked and now here makes me wonder what changed between universes so that Walkyverse!Leslie has only ever worked retail (and now into managment), while Dumbiverse!Leslie is a college professor. They’re…very different avenues.

What happened was the god of their multiverse, aka: Willis, decided to stick everyone into a college setting, thus Leslie needed to become a=either a student or someone who could frequently be on campus.

Leo? Even if their marriage only lasted a few years if she spent them as a housewife she might’ve felt like whatever plans she had for the future stalled out or that without support from her family and a retail job the only thing she could find after 3 years out of the job market thought that going back to school was untenable.

While if DoA Leslie realized and accepted her sexuality without getting married to a man she might have stayed focused in getting a degree.

It’s true she kind of has to be a teacher to interact with the rest of the cast in a realistic way, but the differences intrigue me too. It seems like she’s basically channeled her nurturing side into a career instead of an immediate focus on relationships and family. (Given how soon she would’ve had to start, she’s probably never had a spouse of either gender. Conversely, I’m not sure SP!Leslie even attended college.)

Meanwhile, DoA!Robin’s shown a lot more willingness to toe the Republican party line than her counterpart did. That can’t help but be a complication, sooner or later. At least one person is going to have to make a tough choice.

In any case, whatever standoffishness with which this Leslie regarded this Roz is clearly fading fast in a rush of anticipation. Les has been favoring the v-necks a little more lately, it seems, but what really tells the story is that posture in panel 2.

(And just in case anyone takes offense at the above, there’s definitely nothing wrong with v-necks OR tie shirts and sweater vests when teaching a college class. Professors can get away with a lot It’s just that the former, more so than the latter, shows a certain tasteful flair and a touch more concern about attracting the gazes of her peers…)

I would imagine that, like a lot of the people in this comic, her upbringing was slightly different. For example, Ethan’s coming out was idyllic in Shortpacked!, but terrible in DoA. This must mean that Leslie’s parents were more understanding of her sexuality (given the law of conservation of queer happiness).

With a better upbringing, she focused her life on the study of sociology, becoming a professor of gender studies.

Shortpacked Leslie comes from a family that can afford to lend her a helicopter for romantic moonlight rides. She’s probably ineligible for student loans because of that. Depending on the her state’s particular policies surrounding that, it can give her parents a lot of power over her education.

After Leslie got banished from the family that might’ve been the end of her educational prospects in the Shortpacked universe, where that circumstance may not have been replicated here.

EVERYBODY in DoA has problems, except for Danny he just either makes problems for himself or gets involved in other people problems and Mike just doesn’t have any problems at all just a fuck you attitude

You Are Lucky. I have 3 younger bros, all who have very bad anger issues. I beat one in a halo game, he threw the controller at me, missed, and made a 2 inch dent in the wall. Thats siblings for y’all.

In the ’60s no less. back before the DOD discovered that moving kids around like that was creating huge psychological problems, military dependents of that era had drug, alcohol and suicide rates similar to combat soldiers in Vietnam.

Me too, 60s and 70s. Funny thing, I liked it, after three years I was bored with the place and was ready to move. Of course, with the Canadian air force being fairly small, I was pretty much guaranteed to know somebody on the new base when we got transferred, so it wasn’t all that traumatic.

I wonder how many siblings she has (hint, hint, Willis). It sounds like only two of her sisters could make it to campus, rather than that she only has two sisters. Because three kids is hardly “excessively numerous”.

Honestly, I’m sort of surprised; I mean, split up families are a thing I’ve seen but usually once you have raised more than 4 kids together, you’ve usually weathered the worse and through a lot together.
